The link you provide doesn't meet my needs. This is fan binding.
As I told before 
"This patch doesn't use to binding the fan control h/w. It is used to binding the two independent h/w blocks.
One is used to provide pwm output and another is used to monitor the speed of the input." 
My patch is used to point out that the pwm and the tach is the different function and don't need to
bind together. You can not only combine them as the fan usage but also treat them as the individual module for
use. For example: the pwm can use to be the beeper (pwm-beeper.c), the tach can be used to monitor any device's speed.

Thanks
